Oh god...
I'm going to have to work that into the novel. No question.
BTW, I've been quietly trying to ignore the fact that, now that the novel workshop is done, I need to rework the novel based on all the insightful comments I received.
Clearly, I'm not as open about my laggardliness as DM. But he's flushed me out, pushed this topic back into the light. I've been dragging my heels, finding a million excuses not to tackle the rewrite. Okay, I need to confront this, get started. I will.
As for the story DM alluded to, I don't clearly recall its genesis. I wrote it and sold it several years ago, but as often happens in the publishing field, it took years for it to see the light. No doubt that disastrous end to our Shaolin trip was grist for the story, but perhaps not the initial spark.
BTW, I had read the following on the Web: "The name Antares means 'rival of Mars' or 'anti-Mars.'"
An interesting tidbit, but irrelevant for my novel. But that anagram thing... Yeah, I believe I can work that in. Thanks, ED.
